[ Low Sperm Count ]
Introduction :-
Oligospermia is a male fertility issue characterized by a low sperm count. Sperm count in ejaculate can vary throughout life. A healthy sperm count is often necessary for fertility.
As pre World Health Organization ( WHO ) a normal semen sample contains 40 million to 300 million sperm per millilitre and a low sperm count is considered anything between 10 to 20 millilitres.
Types of Oligospermia
Oligospermia is of three types :-
- Mild oligospermia is 10 to 15 million sperm/mL.
- Moderate oligospermia is considered 5 to 10 million sperm/mL.
- Severe oligospermia is diagnosed when sperm counts fall between 0 and 5 million sperm/mL.

Oligospermia can be correlated with Shukra kshaya in Ayurveda. This condition causes “Napunsakta” in men. Shukra kshaya is caused due to vitiation of Pitta dosha, which leads to deterioration of Shukra dhatu. This vitiation of Pitta dosha causes imbalance in other doshas and starts showing like “Erectile Dysfunction”(Accumulation of Vata dosha ), “Loss of Libido” ( accumulation of Vata and Kapha dosha ) and so on.
In Ayurveda, healthy semen which is more fertile is described as
“shukram shuklam guru snigdham madhuram bahalam bahu |
ghritamaakshikatailabham sadgarbhaya ||”
This means the semen which is white, heavy, sticky, sweet in taste, more in quantity and which may look like the colour of ghee or honey or oil is always fertile.
Ayurveda has advocated a separate branch which deals with the management of defective semen and spermatogenesis along with sexual potencification, is called as Vajikarana tantra (Aphrodisiac medicine). Vajikarana Therapy is recommended in Ayurveda for men who are above 16 and below 70 to maintain optimum sexual activity and healthy semen. Further, the treatment is also accompanied with intake of oral Ayurvedic Medicines and Herbal Medicines.

Vedhive Ayurveda :-
At Vedhive Ayurveda we design a unique personalized treatment plan by identifying root cause of Oligospermia in patients with proper Naadi- Parikshan ( Pulse Diagnosis ) and investigations as each patient has a unique set of Prakriti, doshic properties and causative factors – all of which are considered before giving treatment and medicines. This level of customization makes it possible to address the disease with more accuracy.
We also provide Diet-chart, several Lifestyles recommendations ( Do’s and Don’t ) along with required Yoga and Pranayams to fulfill the treatment.
Ayurveda ensures wellbeing by improving the body’s own self-healing and balancing processes and does not depend on any external or foreign element to substitute or correct the hormones in the body. It focuses on the holistic treatment of Oligospermia with a view to improve the general wellbeing and quality of life.
